Russ Moen would be the guy to talk to, here are some pics of his car:

He goes by the name Vetair here on Lateral-g, and I know he stops by regularly, too.

I saw a couple at Car Craft last year that had the LS1 and AC in their car. So it can be done

I have heard of a couple different set ups to go with. I know Street & Performace offer mounts for the LS-1 that will bolt up to stock style Chevy Motor mount. We used them on my brothers 66 Nova. Worked out pretty good. I have only done one other & the frame was custom built & had the mounts already installed for the LS-1. The guys at Street & Performance are great to deal with & have done a ton of these conversions. The offer everything to do the swap.
